To support our over one hundreds Apache software development projects, the Apache Software
Foundation has created a handful of committees with a foundation wide scope
and each with their own specific part to play. These committees include:

The Incubator Project Management Committee is the entry path into ASF for projects and codebases
wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. All code donations from
external organisations and existing external projects wishing to join
Apache enter through the Incubator.

The Apache Labs Project Managment Committee -- an incubator for new projects from existing Apache
communities or individual committers. Contrast this to the Apache Incubator which is for developing
new communities.

The Apache Attic Project Management Committee -- where discontinued, abandoned, and retired
codebases and projects are stored. The Attic preserves the information for
posterity, reference, and potential future re-activation, while keeping it
clearly distinct from active work.

Note that as of 2013, the Conference Planning committee has been dissolved,
and various corporate officers and the Community Development group are now
responsible for assisting or approving running Apache-related events.

The Security President's Committee -- responsible for the handling of potential
security holes in the software produced by the foundation that might impact
our users. It gets contacted by the finders of the problems before the
problem report is made available to the public, to allow the projects to
provide a fix in time for the report, thus reducing vulnerability to a
minimum.
